Adult Day Center

Senior Concerns Adult Day Center serves the community’s special-need seniors by improving their quality of life through therapeutic recreation, education and nutrition services, along with opportunities to socialize in a warm and caring environment. We offer affordable programs for older adults who cannot be left at home alone because of medical or safety issues and have become dependent on another for the majority of their care.

The center offers three unique programs:

FunSeekers, A safe non-judgmental environment for people with mild cognitive impairment or those with no memory impairment but have physical limitations. Activities include cognitively stimulating word games, discussion groups, educational programs, entertainment, intergenerational programs, crafts and exercise are offered daily.

Fitzgerald Program is a nurturing environment for people needing a moderate level of care while providing social interaction, physical and mental stimulation. Activities include arts and crafts, reminiscence groups, pet therapy, exercise and intergenerational activities.

Friendship Program in the Catlin Wing, is for seniors in need of a greater level of care and supervision due to more advanced memory or physical impairment. Activities include sensory stimulation; one on one staff interaction; eye-hand coordination exercises, pet therapy and intergenerational visits.

Days of attendance and placement in the appropriate program will be discussed during the initial assessment by the Program Director.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research.
Their Mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.

The responsibility of the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging is to serve Ventura County's sixty-plus population including those with different social and cultural needs; to foster and support self-determination and independence among the older population; and to provide leadership in the development of a community-based system of care.

AAAs in communities across the country plan, coordinate and offer services that help older adults remain in their home - if that is their preference - aided by services such as Meals-on-Wheels, homemaker assistance and whatever else it may take to make independent living a viable option.
